Read some of the most brutal Twitter reactions to Virat Kohli’s ‘Leave India’ remarks

It would be a serious understatement to say that Virat Kohli has landed himself in a lot of trouble after claiming in a video that people who support other players instead of the Indians should leave India and reside in the countries which they support. A cricket enthusiast tweeted to Kohli, “Over-rated batsman and personally I see nothing special in his batting. I enjoy watching English and Australian batsmen more than these Indians.”

To this Kohli responded during the launch of his app in the video, “Okay, I don’t think you should live in India then you should go and live somewhere else, no? Why are you living in our country and loving other countries? I don’t mind you not liking me but I don’t think you should live in our country and like other things. Get your priorities right.”

Twitter hasn’t taken kindly to Kohli’s perceived ‘arrogant’ attitude and people have bashed him left, right and centre for his response. Here are some of the most brutal tweets:

Virat Kohli's statement is a reflection of the bubble that most famous people either slip into or are forced into. The voices within it are frequently those that they wish to hear. It is a comfortable bubble and that is why famous people must try hard to prevent it from forming

Your words were not misconstrued, your words were not twisted, this is no case of misreporting, so IF at all you're planning to speak about the arrogant remark you made, spare these bahanas, @imVkohli.

And you MUST say goodbye to endorsing foreign brands. And holidays abroad.

The latest blabbering by @imVkohli shouldn't be taken too seriously.In the month of November, he tends to go off the rails. This is nothing compared to what he said 2 years ago. 😲🤔😋 pic.twitter.com/WqElQmrohj
